Skills

  • LLM Gateway

    Routes requests from LLM clients to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and other providers, injecting provider keys so users never handle shared API keys.

  • MCP Server Proxying

    Aggregates tools and resources from remote MCP servers behind one /v1/mcp endpoint, with deny-by-default grants tied to Tailscale identity.

  • Coding Agent Launcher

    Configures and launches coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode against the gateway with the alpha Aperture CLI.

  • Tailnet Provisioning

    Joins a new application, service or machine to your tailnet through the built-in Tailnet connector, with an admin approving each new machine.

  • Tailscale SSH Commands

    Discovers tailnet machines with Tailscale SSH enabled and runs shell commands on them through the built-in Tailscale SSH connector.
